Willibald "Willi" Ruttensteiner (born 12 November 1962) is an Austrian businessman and football administrator and manager who serves as head coach of the Israel national team as well as the head of the youth development program "Project12". Following the resignation of Dietmar Constantini in September 2011, Ruttensteiner was acting trainer of the Austria national team[1] for two games. In the two games he managed a win and a tie.
He was also responsible for the signing of national coach Marcel Koller, who was controversial in the beginning and later very successful.[2]
